Whiskey blinds are a way to taste whiskey without knowing what it is, which helps remove biases and develop your palate. Blind tasting can help you learn to taste the whiskey more objectively, and to rely on your senses to identify its characteristics. 


Here are some tips for setting up a blind whiskey tasting:



  • Arrange bottles randomly: Cover the bottles with numbered sleeves or bags to hide their identities.



  • Prepare tasting glasses: Provide a tasting glass for each participant.



  • Have water and palate cleansers: Provide water and palate cleansers for participants.



  • Bring a notepad and pen: Have a notepad and pen available for taking notes. 




You can also buy blind tasting kits, which can include whiskies, instructions, and tasting sheets. Some examples include: 



  • Whiskies of the World: A package that includes four different whiskies, instructions, a tasting sheet, and hints to help you guess which whiskey is which 



  • Blind Barrels: A subscription service that provides four 50 ml samples of American whiskey each quarter, along with a tasting led by a spirits guide 



  • Great Whiskey Challenge: A premium blind taste testing kit that you can use with family and friends
